How to ask for a testimonial from customers


Not every customer is going to leave a glowing review on your website, even if they are happy with your product or service. Sometimes, they only need a prompt from your side to do so. But, many business owners hesitate to ask for testimonials, as they fear nagging the customers.



However, you should not overthink about it. Most customers will be happy to leave you a review, if you ask them in straightforward and simple words. The first rule is to act quickly. Ask them for a review within the first one or two days of the purchase, while you are still fresh in their mind. 

Simply send them an email and SMS asking to take some time to leave a review on your website. You can even register on third-party review sites and give them a choice of where they want to leave the review.

Sometimes, a customer might even praise you while conversing verbally. Ask for permission to put their words in writing and post it on your website.

You can even offer incentives like a discount on the next purchase on leaving a testimonial, to encourage more reviews. Ultimately, they will greatly help you boost SEO and add to your credibility. Thus, all you need to do is to shed any hesitation, and simply ask what for what you need.
